Nature Walks – A Belted Kingfisher

I don’t see too many Belted Kingfishers, but when I do, I get very excited. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of seeing one for a few minutes. He was off in a distance, but fortunately, I have a very good zoom on my camera, so I was able to get a few decent shots before he flew away.

You can tell this is a male Kingfisher, because he is lacking the bright orange band on the belly. For once, a female bird actually has more color than a male bird. 🙂

Life is full of surprises. You just never know what to expect. Be prepared to take it all in before the opportunities disappear. 🙂

  5. We have our own brilliant blue and orange kingfishers in the UK but a passing Belted Kingfisher did find it’s way ( off course) to a nearby nature reserve and caused a great stir here a couple of years ago.
